ALBERT OMAR TURNER, OF MANHATTAN, KANSAS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-FOURTH TO FREDR. Sll'IITI-I, OF MANHATTAN, KANSAS.

SAW-SET.

To all whom it muy concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT OMAR TURNER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Manhattan, in the county of Riley and State of Kansas, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to saw sets, and the object of the invention isto produce an article of this character', comprising a stationary and amovable member, each of which being provided with a detachable block,and each of said blocks having their edges provided with angularlyprojecting fingers and recesses between the lingers, the fingers of oneof the jaws being adapted to coaot with the recesses of the block of theopposite jaw, and the fingers at each of the corners of the blocks beingof various sizes to agree with the various sizes of the teeth of saws,whereby the blocks may be utilized for setting the various sizes ofteeth as well as setting a plurality of teeth at a single operation.

With these and other objects in view the invention resides in the novelconstruction of elements and their arrangement in operative combination,hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a saw set,partly in section, constructed in accordance with the l' Fig. 2 1s a topplan view 5 present invention. of the same. Fig. 3 is a centrallongitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 4 is a transversesectional view upon the line 4-4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a front elevationof the toothed block. Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view upon theline 6 6 of Fig. 5.

In the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1 designates the stationarymember of the improved saw set. This member 1 comprises a body portion2, provided with a rectangular head 3 and a handle t. The body 2 isprovided with side walls 5 communicating with the rear wall of thehollow rectangular head 3. The front and rear walls of the head 3 areprovided with a downwardly extending portion or lip, each of which isprovided with alining threaded openings adapted for the reception of thethreaded members or set screws 6 and 7 for the purpose of leveling orplacing set on saw by simply tightening or loosening said screws 6 and 7against saw blade. Teeth on Specification of Letters Patent.

blocks 12 being the same length as notches or recesses in which theycoact. Teeth on blocks having a tendency to set a number of saw teethone way and the same number the opposite way, making it necessary tohave said set plumb, or at right angle with saws as shown in plan withset screws 6 and 7. Said screws 6 and 7 shall be tightened against sawsin operation. The front wall of the head 3 is projected rearwardly asuitable distance to provide the side extensions 8, and these extensionsare provided with threaded openings adapted for engagement with thethreaded members 9 and 10. The front wall of the head 3 has its rearface provided with an inclined transverse cut away portion 11, adaptedfor t-he reception of the inclined teeth of a block 12. This block 12 ispreferably squared in cross-section, and is of a length equal to thedistance between the inner side walls of the head 3.

The ends of the blocks are provided with suitable annular recessesadapted, for the reception of the threaded elements 9 and 10, wherebythe block is effectively secured in position upon the head 3. Tt will benoted by reference to Fig. 3 of the drawings that the inner face of thefront wall of the head 3 bears snugly against the face of the block 12with which it coacts, thus providing an eifective brace for the blockwhen engaged in the operation of setting the teeth of a saw, as willhereinafter be described.

Positioned between the sides 5 of the body 2 is the slidable member 12of the improved set. This member 12 has its front end provided with aU;shaped enlargement, the arms of which are provided with suitablethreaded adapted for the reception of threaded elements 13. Adapted tobe positioned between the U-shaped arms is a block similar to the block12 previously described. This block is also provided upon its side withsuitable annular recesses which are adapted for the reception of thethreaded elements 13, and by which the block is securely retained inposition. The front wall of the sliding element 12 is of a similarcontour with the face of the block which it engages, and the lowerportion of the wall is provided with an annular cut away portion 14adapted to serve as a seat for the projecting fingers of the block. Thesliding member 12 is provided with a suitable eye 15 at its rear end,and this eye is adapted for the reception mally retracted so as toposition the blocks a suitable, distance away from each other to allowfor the ready insertion of a saw blade between the blocks.

The sides 5 are provided with suitable upstanding ears, provided withalining open-Y ings adapted for the reception of a p-intle 18, b-y whichan operating handle is secured between the ears. This handle 19 isprovided with a downwardly extending knuckle 20, adapted for engagementwith a suitable cut away portion 21 provided transversely of the slidingmember 12. By this arrangement, it will be noted that as the handle 19 Yand the ngersr are adapted to be of dierentY sizes at each of thecorners of the blocks so as to provide for the dilerent sizes of teethof a saw which they are adapted to set. It is tol be understood that theteeth of one of the blocks are adapted to coact with the recesses of theopposite blockwhen the device is in operation. By this construction itwill be noted that saws having different size teeth may be readily setvby simplyadjusting the blocks tovbring the sizes of the fingerscorresponding with the teeth of the saw into operative position upon theset.

' In orderto adjust set on saws of different number of teeth to theinch, owing to the difference in vthe length of the teeth in the pdifferent numbered saws, there is` provided Vward extension of sides 3,

in track or slide provided in rear and formarked 8, by means of setscrews 23.

' Having thus fully described the invention what is claimed as new is:

In a device for the purpose set forth, a member provided with asubstantially rectangular hollow headr and having trans.

versely depending offset arms, and being also provided with a dependinghandle, the said handle having its upper face provided with alongitudinally extending groove, a movable member within the groove, andpro-V jecting within the hollow head ofthe first member, means fornormally forcing the sliding member away from the head of the firstmember, a handle connected with the first member and adapted to engagethe sliding member to `force. the same within the hollowhead of the irstmember, the de.- pending portions of the first member being providedwith threaded openings, threaded members for vthese openings,i a blockconnected with the end of the sliding member,

a block connected with the head of the firstmember, means for removablysecuring the blocks to bothV of the members, each of said blocks beingsubstantially rectangular in formation and having their edges providedwith alternating teeth and recesses, the teeth of one of the blocksbeing adapted to be received within the recess of the opposite block,and means for sustainingV the blocks in horizontal alinement with eachother.

In testimony whereof I aX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
